A research report from CITIC Securities reveals that on September 17th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's official website published a draft standard titled "Safety Requirements for Integrated Driving Assistance Systems in Intelligent Connected Vehicles," inviting public feedback. This move accelerates the rollout of mandatory safety standards for Level 2 (L2) autonomous driving systems. The proposed standard sets forth more rigorous safety criteria for intelligent driving technologies and formalizes requirements for the Driver Monitoring System (DMS), a move expected to substantially elevate the market entry threshold for L2 autonomous driving solutions. CITIC Securities posits that such regulatory measures will steer the intelligent vehicle sector toward high-standard, safe development pathways. Consequently, it anticipates positive impacts on suppliers of intelligent driving safety hardware, automotive testing agencies, and leading players in the autonomous driving space.
